Ive got something very similar already, although was cheaper. If I already have one that claims to condition batteries, is it worth paying the money to get that one?

a conditioner will keep your new battery in good nick, so should be fine with what you have if it does what it says. The one above can reverse crystallisation that causes a knackered battery.
